Trichocereus specimens from St. Kilda, Melbourne.
Afternoon Steemers,
A Happy weekend to you all!
Here's some rather nice Tricho specimens that caught my on on a recent trip south of the border...

The one with the smallest thorns of course! I'm looking at these and thinking that all the so called "San Pedro" that people are growing are in fact Trichos. How do you tell the difference?
San Pedro is just the common name for Trichocereus.

I thought that San Pedro is Echinopsis? Do they all contain similar compounds?
*edit: google just showed me that the names are used interchangeably
Yeah it's a wishy washy world of nomenclature in the Cacti world...
Some say they are the same, some argue.
I'm really not too sure about the compounds to be honest.

Yeah. Someone I know cooked a whole lot down to a nauseating green goo. All I got was stomach cramps.
Haha, you win some you loose some 🤣

Echinopsis is the new world nomenclature of the genus. Trichocereus is still used though.
Not all trichocereus species contain mescaline. It's mainly contained within 3 species: bridgesii, peruvianus, and pachanoi. The alkaloid content is pretty variable between species and it's also dependent on weather, season and how much water they get.
It's mainly used for trichocereus pachanoi though.

I have few of those giants on my window sill and I am thinking what to do with them. No @nikv I will not cook goo :P
I am thinking of putting them together in one larger pot to save some space. Mines seem to have a lot longer thorns. Something like on the third shot.
No goo? Shame on you!
Haha I feel so shamed :D
😜😝😛
Hahaha, how did I miss this conversation.... 🤣
